General & Family Physician,  's  Response
in hyperthyroidism there is increased metabolism
so
first
increase her nutrition by three times give high energy rich in calories and multivitamins and minerals. milk shakes fat rich diets fruits eggs protein diet.
this will keep her from being tired

second
continue her medications as prescribed by her physician

third
keep her relaxed physically and emotionally
as her body muscles are in constant tension and exertion will deplete her energy reserves

fourth
if interested can try herbal medicine Ashwagandha which is helpful for regulating both Thyroid and adrenal gland functions it can be used along with Allopathic medication.

also there are homeopathic medicines that help with hyperthyroidism.

hope this helps her
